John Sullivan placed on IR(Designated to return)

Post by 84BreaksAnkles »

6 weeks I think, until we see him.
Devastaed... Utterly devastated..

I mean, So here's our O-Line now

Kalil, Fusco, Berger, Harris, Clemmings.

I almost want to shed a tear, but it's also a chance for young guys to step up and become pieces for our team.
Please just watch(04:39-05:18):

I think it is six weeks before he is eligible to return. He may not be ready to go then. Who knows.
I hope that the next man up and the next next man up are up to it!

Man, at least last year our line made it to the start of the season before falling apart. :wallbang:

hopefully we hold on and win the easier part of our schedule IMO.

With the early bye week this should allow him back with one less game missed

Read a Tweet of a guy that apparently had the same surgery and said it's incredibly painful and no way he's back week 9. It's Twitter so take it with a grain of salt but we may not see Sully for some time after week 12, if at all.

Terrible news. A big loss for the Vikings and their fans.

BTW, I've heard pretty much the same thing that Dead Poet said about the surgery. If what I heard is true, Sullivan may not be back until very late in the season.

He won't be back this season. In Berger we trust.
Has that one lineman from Philly been signed by anyone yet?

Mathis? Broncos signed him a couple weeks ago.
